I.
While alone in
a crowded Universe
I pit my soul against the world's curse.
I follow the urge of my
intent
to eat a forbidden
sacrament.
When all at once my soul
takes flight
to heights expanding the
plane of sight.
When at last I settle to
observe
a map made up of brain and
nerve.
Upon it before me I behold
four places within me. I am told
the first is a door to all
my fate,
the Medulla Oblongata Gate.
After that I see if I should
follow
thought in my minds empty
hollow,
a mountain within which I
need climb
to find two other places in
time.
The first of these a vision
sure
of will in balance and made
pure.
The final of these forms of sense,
a symbol of deliverance.
And so no longer the world
of men
I find myself wandering
wastelands again
Lost in shifting sands of
brain
I must find the camel to
guide me again.
